How Much Do You Spend to Secure Your Van?

The Clive Holland Show

Wednesday, 7 May 2025 - 31 minutes

Tool theft continues to hit the trades hard, with over 11,200 vans stolen in the UK last year alone. Weasked: how much have you spent securing your van? From new locks and alarms to full security systems, we spoke with tradesman Marc Firkins, whose van was broken into a few years back, about how he's still recovering and what he's learned. We also spoke to Jeff Scott of Sussex Installations who gave us his view on van theft and why van manufacturers aren't doing enough to protect their customers. Plus, the Pub Lunch Quiz and your top messages from site - Enjoy!
